I'm out-of-town. Took a few minutes to catch-up on email. I will be back online later this evening (very late - you will already be asleep). -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of sampsa at mac.com Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 07:55 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] Auto-booting a MicroVAX 3400 BTW, you're up either really early or late, what's up?

I'll check my 3300's when I get home this evening and I'll post the positions I have got. Also, take into consideration the uVAX won't boot if the NVRAM battery is dead... (It will try to netboot IIRC). Oh, one last thing, you should set the default boot device: SET BOOT Dxxx And if it is clustered: SET BFLAG x0000000 (being "x" the root suffix) El 13/12/2012, a les 22:58, sampsa at mac.com va escriure: I did read the manual actually - but it talks about some physical switch to put it in "normal" console mode - I think that's what it's in right now.
